Do I wear underwear with these? Or can these shorts be used as underwear?

these shorts are just good enough to be used as underwear. Very confortable and the dryfit material keeps moisture away =)

Hi Megan- I also bought these to use over my child's underwear at bedtime, as he is fully potty trained in his conscious hours. Unfortunately, they did NOT keep the wetness in. They leaked pretty much every night. If the elastic around the thighs and stomach are tight enough to hold back wetness, then they hurt him. If they were remotely comfortable, they leaked. These are basically useful for those kids who are almost making it to the potty, but needs those few extra seconds. Hope this helps. Good luck.

They are a great quality set of underwear. They do feel snug to me and don't loose the stretch. I would try a set.

They should not show on shorts that long. I really like these shorts much more comfortable than other I own.

In my experience, these run tight around the waist. I have a 32" waist and normally wear a medium in underwear. However, I bought these in a size L and find them quite tight.

These shorts, which I like a lot, are roomy in the seat and thighs, and I don't think there's anything you can do about that. But they do run a little large. I wear a 2x waist in most cases (it depends on where pants are made, etc., etc. I'm a big guy), and I bought the 2x. They fit great when I put them on. What I find is that, because they're made of cotton, the waist stretches throughout the day, enough for me to cinch my belt one hole tighter sometime in the middle of the day. But as I say, I love these shorts, and I'm okay with them loosening up somewhat. But a 1X or an XL would have been to smalll for me, even though they run somewhat large. Hope this is helpful.

Yes, you can. They get sweaty though and will need washing much more frequently than if you just wear them for non-athletic use.

They work well with regular briefs. Although we have never tried them that way I would think they would. They work very much like women's feminine pads. These are curved to hug you are prevent leakage. They have a peel off strip and you stick them to your undergarment. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't just drop them, if you're wearing shorts you can pull them to the side, or barely pull your pants down, just as a man would :)

Shorts or pants are fine, they don't stick when taking them off. My waders are a size bigger to accommodate what I wear underneath. Very comfortable, not constricting at all.

Hhhmmm, how to answer this since I have never worn bike shorts before... If you are wondering if it will feel like wearing the old style Maxi Pads - it isn't. Actually, I forget that I am wearing bike shorts during my ride and it prevents the soarness/rubbing that I was experiencing where my legs meet my hips. In my humble opinion, these are perfect. I wouldn't want to walk around in them all day, but for riding they are just the thing I needed.

I'd consider the boxer briefs in place of these, Paul. These aren't too baggy, but I wear suits to work and sometimes these inch their way up in to the danger zone. It's not much of an issue though, because they're so light weight and comfortable. Nonetheless, I'd say play it safe and get the boxer briefs instead.

Never. The shorts are very snug. I wear them in spin class. I'm also accident prone so if something was able to get caught on something it would happen to me. Now that it's in my head it may happen today. I'll let you know.

You would need to wear something under them. There are meant as a waterproof outer layer only ( in my opinion)

I think you can wear them at bed time, but I choose not too. I want my legs free and the skin to breath. First thing in the morning, I put them on and wear them until bed time. It's a personal choice, I think.

You need to wear underwear because you can see through them. This company makes great, black underwear that are perfect. The cost is reasonable and they last a very long time.

I wear these as non-athletic everyday underwear year round. I do commute to work via bicycle, but I also have days where I take the bus.
